Yū Naruse (成瀬 優 Naruse Yū?) has been Tomoko Kuroki's best friend since middle school, and she often calls her Mokocchi. Yū was an unfashionable girl, but she changed her looks before entering high school and has a boyfriend. Yū's boyfriend is a source of discontent for Tomoko.
She is 15 years old and her birthday is March 3rd. She appears to be 5'4".
She is the main character in the spin-off manga Watashi no Tomodachi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui.
Overview
Yū is Tomoko's best and possibly only friend. Initially a awkward looking girl, she enters high school with bleach blonde hair and larger breasts much to Tomoko's jealously. Despite her radical makeover and having a boyfriend, Yū still regards Tomoko as her best friend. She is the star of the 4-panel spin-off manga, TomoMote.
Personality
Yū is a naïve but very kind girl. Unlike most people who meet Tomoko, she is still unaware of Tomoko's perverted tendencies despite having known her since middle school. Yuu has changed herself in many ways to fit in with her classmates, deciding that growing up and adjusting to society is better than falling behind. Although her appearance has changed, she still enjoys hobbies like watching anime and she still considers Tomoko her best friend. In more recent chapters she has become more assertive against Tomoko and makes the girl (as well as Kotomi) sing carols for an hour.
Appearance.
Yuu's full appearance (high school).
Before high school, Yū's outward middle school appearance was shown in WataMote Episode 13. She was surprisingly once a dorky looking girl, such as Tomoko herself; having long, black hair (with straight bangs) held by long pigtails and square glasses. She also wore a sailor fuku outfit with a long skirt that reached her knees, showing that she hadn't exposed herself as much as she does now. According to Tomoko, Yuu was also rather undeveloped in middle school, and claims both she and Yuu were the same in chest size back then, only for Yuu to develop rather large breasts when she got to high school. When realising that being less anti-social is for the better, Yuu decides to change her looks to give off a better impression.
When entering high school, Yuu dyed her hair honey and got contacts just to "fit in with her classmates", much to Tomoko's shock. She wears a school uniform that consists of a white collared shirt with a green bow, a dark-brown skirt, and black thigh-high socks, giving an impression that she started to reveal more of herself when she got to high school, and is noticeably more developed. Tomoko even thought that Yuu was trying to "seduce" her by wearing a mini skirt when they meet again after graduation. Yuu has changed her appearance entirely, though hasn't mentioned it much. Tomoko also noted her new appearance as "slutty-looking".
